Big hits tend to win Grammys. That’s just science. But is it possible to be so big you fail? The two songs that previously held the record for the longest-running number-one hit in Billboard Hot 100 history were both nominated for Record of the Year, but lost. Now that Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus‘s “Old Town Road” has broken that record with 19 weeks in the top spot, will it also break the curse by winning the top prize?
“One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men was the first song ever to spend 16 weeks at number one, and it was nominated for Record of the Year in 1996, but lost to Seal‘s “Kiss from a Rose.” In fact, Carey was shut out entirely that year even though her album “Daydream” was also up for Album of the Year.
